First generations Audi Q4 e-tron
The Audi Q4 e-tron is built on the same dedicated EV platform as the Volkswagen ID.4, and depending on the model year and specific equipment, it offers between 241 miles and 288 miles of range on a full charge.
Through the 2026 model year, the Q4 e-tron offers DC fast charging with a standard SAE Combo plug, instead of the increasingly popular NACS system used by Tesla Superchargers.While the first Q4 e-tron models featured dual motors and all-wheel drive, later model years offer an option for a single motor and rear-wheel drive. This configuration increases range at a small cost to performance. Buyers can also choose between Premium and Premium Plus trim levels with the Q4 e-tron. The higher Premium Plus trim level includes features such as a power liftgate, wireless device charging, and a power-adjustable passenger seat.
